Clear Run Road

Trail Overview

This trail connects the unpaved Jimtown Road to the west with Firetower Road to the east, both located within the state forest. Two designated drive-in campsites are available along the route; reservations are required through the Pennsylvania State Park website. Near the eastern end, an interpretive sign explains Shelterwood Harvests and forest management practices in the area. A section of exposed piping at the western end serves as a visible remnant of past gas industry activity, though the overall setting remains natural and remote. Combine this with any of the other forest roads in this state forest tract for a wonderful day out in nature!
